@farmingandJesus I wouldn’t know as I haven’t gotten there yet—my family usually don’t go through perimenopause until after their 50’s—so many had kids at 43-45(including my younger sister) & I still suffer terribly with periods...😖
May GOD use our suffering to convert more souls to HIM.❤️🔥✝️🙏🏽☦️
@messi_bararg@BreeSolstad GOD made me Catholic years ago—diligently learning all He taught—she’s right.👈🏽
Perhaps we should be humbled as well & listen.
For I see more of us within HIS Church just going through the motions on Sunday but not living the life—so many leave mass & don’t follow GOD at home.😞
@messi_bararg@BreeSolstad Catechumens tend to want to do things right—yes we need to watch out for legalism, scrupulosity, as well as a lack of humility that all Catholics should pay attention too as well—so when studying we see what right looks like, why wouldn’t we do it‽
May we all be humbled❤️🔥✝️🙏🏽☦️
@messi_bararg@BreeSolstad So what if GOD allowed many sheep to leave HIS Church 510 years ago, so that their great grandchildren down the line today would see and come back to revive the traditions the Western rite seems to have modernized away from.
As a Maronite Catholic, we abstain on Fridays still.👈🏽
@autocorrect2_0 GOD is GOOD & Glorious ALL the Time…✝️
As a Protestant I accidentally ate ignorant and sinful🤦🏽♀️—Jesus brought me into HIS Holy Catholic Church later on.
Since I started my catechumen journey in 2022—GOD has had me tell other Protestants not to speak ill of HIS Church as penance.
@autocorrect2_0 So in order to be able to eat of it, you must be catholic…you must know Whom you are eating, what He means & HIS rules.
Not that all Catholics understand, but we try to protect those who don’t understand from damning themselves eating Jesus’s Eucharist in the wrong state.👈🏽
All have issue to work out with GOD—but the issues are generally our own misunderstanding of what He has done, what He has allowed & why.
We have no idea why we are here, it’s to change and be changed by GOD’s Love, and to spread it to all whom we love—to endure for them.❤️🔥✝️🙏🏽❤️🔥
I am on my annual retreat, delayed due to duty.
I was thinking of how much this year I have missed my deceased parents, and God brought to mind how I deep down have always, truth be told, entertained the bitter thought He took them from me, in close proximity in their 50's.
What God made me realize today was that He takes nothing away from me but my sins.
He is the God of the living, and they are present to me in Him, in some mysterious union we have in the Mystical Body of Christ. It does not deny missing them, but it is without bitterness or blame.
God takes nothing from us, nothing but our sins.
How good God is.
@PartesanJournal@MrCasey62 That’s with incense & pure offering at GOD’s altar—According to the Bible itself.👈🏽
So do we only believe the Scriptures when it suits us or all the time‽
All Gentile Nations worship GOD at HIS altar with incense & pure offering (Jesus’s Eucharist or thanksgiving) says Malachi.
@PartesanJournal@MrCasey62 The Bible speaks of an altar—Malachi 1:11 talks about all gentile nations worshiping GOD, and it says with incense and a pure offering (which the Hebrew suggests is made of grain.
That’s last book Old Testament prophecy of after Jesus’s resurrection.👈🏽
Ignatius was a bishop 69AD.
@realanderson@BreeSolstad Even Jesus had a Judas—a betrayer—in HIS ministry…did the other Apostles leave over him‽
Do we leave HIS Church just because of bad people‽
If we did then we don’t trust GOD who said HIS Church will prevail.👈🏽
We stay in HIS Catholic Church, speak out & pray for all.❤️🔥✝️🙏🏽☦️
@realanderson@BreeSolstad The Holy Catholic Church hasn’t changed her doctrine…but yes the smoke of Satan is trying to use her priests & people against her.
However what did Jesus Christ say‽
He promised that HIS Church will prevail over the gates of hell to the end and HIS return.
Do we believe GOD‽👈🏽
@ComeYeSinners@CDogmatics@Napoleogian@CatholicDrip___ The Holy Catholic Church does not nor ever has worshiped Mary…respectful bowing is not an act of worship just like how prayer is not an act of worship, there’s more to it…worship requires an offering.
The Church condemned Mary worship (Collyridianism) back in the 3-4th century.
@ComeYeSinners@CDogmatics@Napoleogian@CatholicDrip___ Malachi 1:11 proves that only the Holy Catholic Church belongs to GOD, as only she can fulfil that prophecy of the last old Testament book.👈🏽
And the first 3 chapters of Luke points to how Mary is the Ark of the new Covenant to a first century Jew, the audience for it.👈🏽
